'Not over the moon about it': Klopp gives verdict on Liverpool's finishing v Man United

Liverpool drew 2-2 away at Man United. The Reds played the hosts off the park but couldn't convert most of their chances, allowing the opposition to come back into the game.

Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai missed excellent opportunities to score. Overall, Liverpool created seven big chances and recorded an xG of 3.59.

"Happy with a lot of parts of the game," Jurgen Klopp said post-match. "Being 1-0 up at Old Trafford and having a 15-0 shooting stat is incredible.

"It says to me immediately again there is probably something around the finishing, it was either exceptional goalkeeping which was the case for one situation for Dom Szoboszlai, [which] was an incredible save but besides that we should and could have been calmer and clearer in moments.

"It’s fine, you are 1-0 up now and so still fine. Come outside [for the second half] and still controlling the game and then we gave the ball away. These mistakes happened before and will happen after today as well, so that is not a problem.

"We got the penalty and scored an equaliser and could have scored more before or after. We played really good in so many moments and we had a five- or 10-minute period where they score.

"Now you can say if we had that much of a dominance for long parts we should win the game yes, that’s true but you all are long enough in football that it doesn’t mean you will win. It just means you should and that is obviously different very often to the final scoreline.

"Two-two, I am not over the moon about it, I don’t think it’s the best result I’ve ever seen, but I am fine. Now we recover and play Atalanta in the Europa League."
